Victor — Our Super Host
What more can we say about this absolutely fabulous Airbnb Super Host that hasn’t already been said?
Due to the short notice of our trip, Victor arranged for us to stay in the loft unit of Backyard Rio upon our arrival in Melaka. Situated at a bend of the Melaka River, this unit offered a commanding 180 degree view — a beautiful welcome to the city.
We settled in quickly, and as always, had nothing but good things to say about Victor’s well appointed space.
Moving Into the Main Unit
The following day, and just as promised, Victor moved us into the intended first floor unit, which was more spacious and even more comfortable. Again, we were blown away.
We hope our footage of both units does them justice — and as a bonus, we included a timelapse of the sunset over the Melaka River, captured right from the Airbnb.
We’ll let the videos speak for themselves. If you’re planning a trip to Melaka, we highly recommend browsing Victor’s portfolio of immaculately maintained apartments and homes on Airbnb. His profile lists all the units he manages.
If the previous video carried a bit of negativity, we hope this one brings back some positivity.
Enjoy!
P/S — A Note From the Heart
We spoke too soon. This visit turned out to be the last time we stayed at one of Victor’s units.
Over time, he changed — becoming distant, aloof, and no longer the warm host we once knew. We had been regular guests since the pandemic, supporting his units during the difficult years when he was struggling and taking on part time gigs to stay afloat.
But once things improved for him, it felt as though we became… surplus to requirements.
It happens. Success affects people differently. We wish him well, but it was time for us to move on.
